The SHSPU were CHALLENGING!
Did yesterday’s. Luke and I have skipped a couple workouts this week in favor of spending all day outside shoveling snow! It was nice to get back in the gym today.
Every 7’ for 5 sets:
15 cal echo bike
500m row (too much snow outside to run)
20 push presses 75#
4:40/4:38/4:42/4:38/4:37
Where do you live? I’m in Alaska and no snow for months. (It’s on the ground just haven’t gotten any fresh snow in ages.
We live up in the mountains right outside of Reno, Nevada. We were having a really dry winter too, up until this week!
Every 7 minutes, for 35 minutes (5 sets) for times:
20/15 Calories of Assault Bike
400 Meter Run500m Row20 Push Presses (115 lbs)
3:53, 4:04, 4:09, 4:00, 3:59
What should I do instead of pull ups? Rows hurt too….It’s the grip and pull motion that I am avoiding most.
Sucks to hear that your elbow is still in pain. Can you do strict PU’s? Have you tried a percussion massager? For me, taking at least 4 weeks completely off all pulling movements + daily massages has brought my elbow back to life. Still not 100% on butterfly pull ups, muscle ups, etc., but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel after 5 months in pain. I hope you feel better soon Janelle.
Thanks Luke. It is still bothering me, though it’s getting better. I did get a percussion massager and it’s definitely helping. I am trying to do it 2x a day, as well as a few other exercises. Strict pull ups are pretty much the most painful thing for it have found. I feel it in the extensor tendons when I grip and pull up like that. I haven’t tried any type of kipping because that would be stupid… 🙂 Rowing has gotten a bit better, though still not great. Planning to not do any type of pull up until the… Read more »

Last set was nasty!!
Question for coaches: as we progress on squats, what should I do if I don’t have enough weights at home to go >90%? Assume that increasing the reps, but some guidance on what percentages I should use and number of reps would be much appreciated. Should I work to 85% of current 1RM, then just try to increase reps?
Thanks in advance for any help or guidance!
I have the same problem at home. Only have 285 pounds for back squats when my one rep is 345+. I just rep out the max weight a few sets of 5-10. It’ll build the strength
Thanks Mugu – that’s what I have been doing as well. I ordered two more 45’ers with a few other things over the holidays but they have not shipped yet.
